Remove play button on html5 opening screen in Storyline 360
Is there a way of editing the code on one of the files to remove the big play button that appears on the opening screen of a mobile device accessing the html5 file? I've seen threads on how to do it...
Hi there, Oscar!
Play Button on Mobile
The play button is standard on mobile devices since it requires user interaction. To add more color to the 'why':
What you're describing is the intended behavior for Storyline content on a phone. It's the same approach for how iOS handles videos, for instance. Videos get a play button on the phone and then go full-screen when clicked. This is done due to the limited real estate on the phone. The same approach is taken for Storyline content. - Adam
Let me know if that helps. I'll also surface the need to customize how that play button looks with our team!
Hi Katie,
Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I understand why the need of the play button at the start of a Storyline module, specially on mobile devices. As a user I will like to have an option to make some minor custom modifications to this page. For example, changing the color of the background and play button, maybe adding some additional text or increasing and centering the title of the program.
I have been able to customize the start screen using css, but of course it will be nice if the customization options reside within the Articulate Storyline Authoring tool.
Thank you to Articulate for producing this great authoring tool and for all the features it keeps adding. It really show the dedication Articulate has to the industry and its customers.
